AMUSEMENTS.

opera HOUSE. Th e usual matinee will be given at the Opera House to-day when Hobart Bosworth will be seen in “The Man Life Passed By.’’ VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURES.

Tonight and to-morrow night two of Fuller’s artists will appear in conjunction with the picture programme.

FRANCIS AND CLINTON. Combining apparently impossible feats of equilibrium and acrobatics with clean and clever comedy work, there is no more popuar turn throughout the Fuller circuit in Australia and New Zealand than that presented by those extraordinary artists, Francis and Clin ton Almost incredible stunts are accomplished with an ease, dexterity and sang froid which evoke enthusiastic receptions everywhere the turn is pre seated, while their original comedy causes continuous laughter. Head-iin ers such as these are rarely seen on the West Coast and Coasters are in for something unusual. When visiting Christchurch recently ,Mr. A. Beban saw the turn of Francis and Clinton at Fuller’s Opera House, ami he was so impressed by its worth that he immediately suggested a West Coast engagement. Frior engagements in the South, including Dunedin, made a postponement necessary, but this clever dbuple will appear to-night and tomorrow night at the Opera House. It is quite certain that Francis and Clinton will repeat the great success achieved by them everywhere. Their like is not met with frequently, and their cleverness places them out of the ordinary class. Th e turn will appear at Reefton on Friday and at Blackball on Saturday. “THE MAX LIFE PASSED BY.” ‘The Man Life Passed Bv,” Victor Schertzinger’s new Metro production to be shown at both the Opera House and Town Hall on Wednesday night reveals itself as an intriguing photoplay bound to please every fan. It seeks only to be entertaining and succeeds admirablv.

An excellent cast that has Percy Marmoiit, Jane and Eva Novak in sister roles, Cullen Landis, Lydia Knott and Hobart Bosworth, make very real this story oi a man who finally rises triumphant through the help of the daughter of his enemy, over misfortunes that nearly downed him. The absorbing action, interspersed with fights and thrills, has many gripping dramatic scenes.
